~KARLA~ The next morning when I came up, I was surprised to see Levi already up with our luggage by the side of the bed. “Levi?" I called out as I sat up while wiping the sleep in my eyes. “Oh you're up, my love?" He muttered then walked up to me and placed a kiss on my lips. “Did you pack my stuff as well?" He nodded. “Yes. I told you to pack and you didn't and I didn't want to wake you up so I just did it for you" He murmured and I sighed. “Why did you stress yourself?" He chuckled. “It wasn't stressful because you left most of your things back at home. Why did you do that? I understand why you left the phone but you should carry the other things I bought for you" I pouted. “They were going to remind me of you and I wanted to forget you, remember?" He raised an eyebrow. “And how did it work?" I frowned. “You can see it didn't" He chuckled. “I know I just wanted to hear it. Why would you want to forget someone like me? It
~KARLA~ We arrived in Italy pretty early and as soon as we got to the warehouse, Levi took the car back to the company with Sebastian. I sighed knowing I wasn't going to be seeing him as often as back at the pack. “This place is huge" Jessica uttered as I led her into the warehouse. I smiled as they greeted me as I walked by. Most of them had smiles on their faces while the others just seemed surprised to see me. “Wow, you're popular around here" Jessica commented as soon as we got to her room door and I giggled. “Well I am dating the boss" She chuckled. “Boastful, I like it" We walked into the room and she gasped at the size. “This room is bigger than both our rooms back home combined" She muttered and I nodded. “I hadn't noticed how big it was before but you're right, it's really big. This was the room that was offered to me before and the good thing is that Sebastian's room is just opposite" She scoffed but I noticed the slight blush on h
~LEVI~ After my conversation with Lucien, my mood was so dampened that every little thing annoyed me so Sebastian suggested I go back home and I agreed. Only Karla could lift up my mood at this point. On our ride back home, Sebastian didn't say anything but with the way he glanced at me, it was obvious he had heard what had transpired between Lucien and I. “I'm on your side though, you know that? But if Lucien calls and tells me he needs my help, I'll be there for him" Sebastian suddenly uttered as he turned to me and I didn't bother replying. As soon as we got to the warehouse, I rushed towards the mansion and a smile appeared on my face at the thought of seeing and Holding Karla. It was already late so I was sure she was already asleep. I opened my room door gently and I inhaled with my eyes closed, loving how her scent already invaded her room. I remembered when I was spelled, I hated being in here because nothing felt right. Now I understand why
~KARLA~ I held onto Levi's hand tightly as we sat down in the doctor's office. “I'll just run a few tests and we'll see where you're at. It won't take too long and please try to relax" The doctor muttered and I nodded then turned to Levi as the doctor walked out of the office. “Are you okay?" He questioned as he placed a kiss on my cheek and I nodded with a sigh. “Just nervous" “Okay well I didn't want to say anything but you're hurting my hand" I gasped as I let go of him when I noticed I had been digging my fingernails into his skin. “I'm sorry, I didn't mean…" “It's okay, I'm okay. I'm more worried about you. No matter what the doctor says, promise me you're going to be okay?" I frowned. “Levi it's not that easy…" “I know this is very hard but I need you to know that I'm here and if you freak out, I'll start panicking as well and we don't want that" He muttered and I sighed before nodding. “Come sit on my lap" He murmured and I stood up then moved over and sat on his lap,
“Careful okay?" Levi murmured as he gently helped me out of the car and I rolled my eyes. “Can you calm down? Nothing is going to happen to me" He frowned. “You don't know that. What if you slip and fall to the ground?" I sighed. “Levi…" “Just let me take care of you okay?" He murmured and I sighed before placing a kiss on his cheek. “Okay. Should we tell the others?" He thought over it for a while then shook his head. “Maybe we should keep it a secret till we are sure you are really okay, hmm?" I nodded. I didn't want to tell anyone yet just in case this turned out to be a dream. As we walked towards the mansion, I heard Jessica's voice and when I turned to the direction it was coming from, it seemed she wasn't alone. I tried moving towards her when Levi held me back. “What's wrong?" He questioned. “I was going to meet Jessica. She must be worried about me. I did tell her I was going to the hospital" I murmured and felt bad that I couldn't tell her and Sebastian but if nothi
A month had passed and I was beginning to see a little of the baby bump. I was getting nauseous from time to time and my appetite increased not only for food but for sex as well. “Fuck!" Levi uttered as I climbed off him then laid beside him while we both breathed heavily. After some seconds, I turned to him and began kissing him while my hand roamed his body and he chuckled. “Baby we just made love" I frowned then moved away from him. “You are tired of me already?" I muttered and he frowned. “Why would you say that?" He murmured and tried grabbing my hand but I swatted it away and stood up from the bed. “If you are tired of me then fine, I won't touch you anymore and I'll…" “Karla,what…" He began then he sighed before getting up from the bed and walking towards me. He grabbed my hand while I peered up at him stubbornly then grimaced when he flicked my forehead even though it barely hurt. “Levi…" “I was told you w
~ANASTASIA~ It took some minutes before I could see the familiarity in Jason's eyes as he fell to the ground, groaning.. The ex Queen of witches let out a sigh of relief and when she turned to me, my eyes widened seeing blood gushing out of her nose. “What the hell did you create, Anastasia?" She muttered as she stared at me in shock and I pursed my lips before glancing at my hand again. “Why couldn't I stop him? Why… why had my spells not worked?" She scoffed and I turned to her. “I warned you about this but you decided not to listen. You basically used all your powers on him and now, he's even more stronger than Liam ever was" My eyes widened as I let out a gasp. Stronger than Liam? “Even though, I made it so that I could stop him whenever I wanted and…" “You no longer have powers, Anastasia! You have created a monster. We need to warn everyone immediately" I tried stopping her but she ran past me before I could get to her and I fell to th
~LEVI~ I furrowed my eyebrows when I heard my phone ring with the name “My World" Popping up on the screen. Why was Karla calling me? Was she in trouble? I immediately connected the call to my phone. “Kar…" “Come back home now!" She screamed and I furrowed my eyebrows when I heard her crying profusely. “Karla? What's wrong? Are you hurt? What…" “Please Levi, just come home. I'm begging you" I couldn't understand what was going on. Was she hurt? “Are you hurt? Tell me what's wrong?" I muttered and was ready to turn the car around when Sebastian's voice came through. “You have to come home, Levi. Jason is on the loose" I furrowed my eyebrows then scoffed. “If anything, he should be afraid of me. Don't worry about me, I'll…" “You don't understand, Levi. He's not the same Jason we knew. Anastasia did something to him, gave him power and now according to Lucien, even Anastasia can't stop him and he's coming for you and Karla" My eyes widened as I clenched my fist around the steeri
~FOUR YEARS LATER~ “Momma? When are we going to visit aunty Jess and uncle Bash? He promised me a Barbie dream house" Isabella uttered as she swung her little legs back and forth on the chair while I dressed her up. We'll go and visit them soon enough, my love. I'm sure they miss you" I murmured then placed a kiss on her cheeks before carrying her in my arms. “Where's dada?" She murmured and at that moment, Levi's head came out from behind her room door and he had a huge smile on his face. “Hey my Queen and princess" As his whole body came into view, my eyes widened as the huge bouquet of flowers in his hand. “For you my love" He murmured as he outstretched it towards me and I grinned before slowly placing Isabella on the ground. “This is so cute, thank you" I murmured as I placed a kiss on his lips. “Dada, I want flowers too" Isabella pouted as she outstretched her little hands towards him and Levi grinned. “I can never forget my little princess" He brought out a smaller banq
~A FEW MONTHS LATER~ “Push" The nurse uttered and I groaned as I pushed as hard I could while clinging onto Levi's hand. He leaned forward and placed kisses on my face. “You can do this my love, you've got this" He muttered and I nodded then took a deep breath. “One final push, give it all you've got" I screamed as I pushed and the only thing on my mind was I was finally going to hold out baby. The baby we made with love,our miracle baby. As soon as I heard the cries of the baby, I began to shed tears of joy and Levi was crying beside me. “It's a girl. She's the cutest baby ever" The nurses cooed and I opened my arms to receive her. Levi and I hadn't wanted to know the gender, we had wanted to be a surprise but everyone had already guessed it was going to be a girl. “I want to hold her" I uttered and one of the nurses came forward and opened my chest since the baby needed skin contact. As soon as the baby was placed in my arms, I bursted out crying as I stared down at the baby i
~LEVI~ I smiled as I stood in front of Karla's hospital room, listening to her laughing with Kiara. It felt like I haven't heard her laugh so hard in years. I knocked on the door then opened the door and walked in. They both turned to me and I immediately walked up to Karla and placed a kiss on her lips. “You both seem to be having a lot of fun" Karla suddenly stared at me sternly. “You didn't tell me she was your first love" My eyes widened while Kiara raised her hand in surrender. “I didn't tell her, she found out" I bit my lower lip and tried grabbing Karla's hand but she swatted my hand away. “Is that why you took me under your wing because my name sounded like hers?" I gasped as my eyes grew wider. “Karla, no I…" “Don't talk to me or touch me" She murmured then turned her head away from me and I turned to Kiara with a frown. “What did I do wrong? Anyway, we should hang out again don't you think? When you get better, you have
I sighed then leaned down and kissed away the tears on Karla's face. “Karla please, stop doing this to yourself" I muttered and she sighed. “I still can't believe she killed herself just to save me and now your brother is depressed" Kiara had assured me that her heightened emotions were because of her pregnancy hormones but it was clear that Anastasia's death had dampened everyone's mood even though it happened a week ago. Zane and Kiara hardly came by anymore because Kiara said Zane was very down and couldn't stop blaming himself for what happened while Sebastian and Jessica tried their best to comfort Lucien but that didn't seem to be working. He was slipping into depression especially since Anastasia's body was taken away and he couldn't attend her burial because since she was still the Queen of witches, only a few witches could perform her burial ceremony. Daniel and Heather had brought the kids with them and when they heard the news, they had been devastated as well but it w
~LEVI~ As I was about to rush towards Anastasia, Zane and Sebastian held me back while Lucien covered her whole body with his. “I didn't do anything. I don't have any powers for crying out loud" She screamed behind Lucien and I clenched my fist. “Nothing that comes out of your mouth is the truth! This only happened because you are here!" I screamed. “Levi, calm down. Screaming isn't going to solve anything" Kiara tried to reason with me but that witch was still in my space. If she hasn't done anything, what was wrong with Karla then? I furrowed my eyebrows when she suddenly came out from behind Lucien and stared at me straight in the eye. “I know you hate me, I know you all do and I don't blame you for it and I'm not here to ask for your forgiveness. I'm here to save Karla and if you don't let me in there, she's going to die" I gritted my teeth and tried lunging at her but Zane and Sebastian's hold on me was strong. “Karla doesn't need your help
My eyes widened as Lucien walked towards me. When he had called me earlier, I hadn't expected him to actually come. I tried standing up but immediately lost my balance and fell to the ground. Lucien was in front of me in seconds but I shook my head at him then flashed him a smile. “I'm okay" He pursed his lips then took a few steps away from me before letting out a sigh. “Zane said you had a way to help?" He muttered and I nodded. “Yes I do. I can help Karla" He frowned. “How can you do that when you have lost your powers?" I pursed my lips. “It's a forbidden spell. Even those without powers can cast it" He frowned. “You are not telling me everything," I smiled. “It doesn't matter. Just know that I can save Karla and I'm ready to save her. All I just need is physical contact with her" He stared at me for a while then sighed. “If this is one of your schemes then…" “It's not a scheme. I just want to help, that's the onl
~LEVI~ The next few days were hell for me. Karla wasn't showing any signs of waking up and the doctor kept bothering me that it was the right choice to take the baby out but I didn't want that. If Karla woke up, she'd want to give birth to her baby normally. I didn't want to deprive her of that. While Daniel and Heather had volunteered to go bring their children over since Kiara and Zane didn't want to leave my side until Karla woke up even though I tried convincing them I was okay because I didn't want to trap them here. What if…what if Karla took a year before she woke up? “My heart won't be at rest if we leave you this way just like you stayed by me when I was in an almost similar situation like hers" Kiara murmured as she placed her hand on his shoulder. “And you stayed by my side and became my voice of reason. Do not worry about us, we'll stay in a hotel in the meantime and since the children will be coming soon, Kiara won't be as anxious" I glanced at both
~ANASTASIA~ I kept quiet as Lucien led me into his house but couldn't stop myself from staring at him. He looked so worn out and tired, not like the Lucien I knew before. He had become more rugged looking. “Wait till the rain stops. If you want to kill yourself, do it somewhere I can't see you" He murmured as I sat down on the couch. He was about to walk away when I grabbed his hand.. “Lucien, I…" “Don't think because I brought you into my house means that I have forgiven you. I can never forgive you for what you did, Anastasia" He muttered and the tears streamed down my face before I could stop it. “Lucien, please…" “Because of you,my brother has gone through so much pain! His woman is currently fighting for her and their baby's life. All this is because of you and you think just because you came to apologize, all will be forgiven? You are a vile woman and no matter what, I cannot forgive you neither can I forgive myself. If I hadn't indulged y
~LEVI~ The next few days went by like a breeze. I stayed beside Karla, holding her hand and talking to her, hoping she would hear me and know how much I missed her. “Yesterday, Zane bought your favorite flowers for Kiara. Apparently that's her favorite flower too. I'm sure you both have a lot in common and I can't wait for you both to meet. I miss you so much, so damn much" I murmured then leaned in and placed a kiss on her lips. “Wake up my love, come back to me" I let out a sigh as I wanted nothing more than to hug her tightly. “Hey" I turned around and watched as Sebastian walked in with his crutches. He had woken up before I did but his bones were fractured so the doctor asked him to limit his movements. I was glad it wasn't anything permanent except maybe some of the injury marks. “Hey. Where's Zane and the rest?" I questioned and he sighed. “Zane and Kiara are with the doctor while Daniel and Heather went out to get food for everyone. Jess
